A) I have never touched tumblr.
B) I first heard it around 30 years back, so a little before tumblr.

Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow.
You can’t get a lot cooler than that.
I have three "!subscribe pending"s in my list after a session of joining a few days back. For me, they are showing up in my sidebar and I can post to them as usual, it seems. It is just that they don’t change from ‘pending’.
There is https://beehaw.org/c/creative which seems to be fairly active and certainly includes some knitters.
!map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz looks interesting.
!ukcasual@lemmy.world might become a pleasant UK based one
Museums - particularly local/folk museums.
As a kid my dad would drag me around them. I was born fairly late in his life, so he would be reminiscing about various things on display but I had no context for them and so no real interest. Maybe I would find a couple of the large items something to play with or on etc.
Later they started to be come more interesting, once I developed an interest in history and then they started to have a value as a resource on low/intermediate tech solutions to actual things I was doing. And then I started to notice items in the displays that my grandparents and then parents actually owned and used…
These days I am starting to find things on display that I used myself at the start of my working life.

Personally, I always used to carry a paperback with me and would read in the odd moments that this writer seems to recall as being so dull and soul destroying. I still do carry e-books on my phone of course and use them in exactly the same way - but also with the option of doomscrolling, of course.
As for TV, I was never one for TV - or radio - as background noise. With fiends, I had a bit of reputation of going round and turning such things off when I entered the room, so that we could talk without distraction. I would ask them first, of course.
